Most of the responses in the past about this are something along the lines of 'LOL what a waste' or 'no way that thing works like they say' or something like that. I don't think there is much worry with the thing getting sucked into the engine though. It would get stopped at the throttle body if anything.

Is't that tornado fuel saver basicly the same thing as the TB spacer with the spun grooves? I know there put in diffrent places and all but they seem to do pretty much the same thing to me, spin the air as it enters the motor. I've noticed some people here with the TB spacer.

-I don't want to start anything. If this reply sounds rude or offensive I appologize.

i had a friend that ordered one for his hemi. it didn't fit so he gave it to me. i tried it for a while. didn't notice any sotp gain. never track tested it. but i still have it and if someone wants to test it then feel free, just pay shipping. i think you'll be dissappointed tho.

While you are installing the Tornado you might look into a throttlebody spacer and a Vapor injector to install for the ultimate in performance.Damn that baby will probably make at least 600hp and 70 mpg.
